Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Love can be surprising. Love can be heartbreaking. Love can be an art. But love is the singular emotion that all humans rely on most . . . and crave endlessly, no matter what the cost. United by this theme of love, the nine titles in the Penguin Great Loves collection include tales of blissful and all-encompassing, doomed and tragic, erotic and absurd, seductive and adulterous, innocent and murderous love. A deeply moving addition to the Penguin Great Ideas and Great Journeys series, each gorgeously packaged book will challenge all expectations of love while celebrating the beauty of its existence.

All books in this series: Cures for Love
Doomed Love
The Eaten Heart
First Love
Forbidden Fruit
The Kreutzer Sonata
A Mere Interlude
Of Mistresses, Tigresses and Other Conquests
The Seducer’s Diary

5.0 out of 5 stars a little trashy, May 9, 2009

By	C. F. Baker "Creative Queen" (Charleston, SC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

But not in a bad way... I was reading one of these every night before me and my husband went to bed, and let's just say we didn't go right to sleep afterwards :)
